Hi list, This is a follow up to ... http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-11/msg00106.html ... describing a recent bug where rsync on cygwin would add a .exe extension to executable files, making the copy different to the original.
It appears this may have been "fixed" but I've found a case where the behaviour is back. I back up my entire work area which includes several active subversion checkouts to an external hard disk. There are cases we have executable files are checked in and SVN stores a copy of the file with a .exe.svn-base extension. Copying these with rsync gives an extra .exe extension on the destination file, as in the sequence below. Any chance this could be looked at and fixed in a future revision?
